BENGALURU, June 1 -- After months of speculations, chaos and confusion, Karnataka is all set to experience a changed leadership on June 3, with DK Shivakumar scheduled to take oath as the state's new chief minister. Just on Saturday, Shivakumar was unanimously elected leader of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) in the state, paving the way for him to take the CM's throne. Siddaramaiah stepped down as the chief minister of Karnataka on Thursday, May 28, saying he obeyed the Congress high command's wish. He was the longest-serving CM of the state. Shivakumar previously served as Siddaramaiah's deputy. On Saturday, after being elected the leader of the CLP, he called on Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot at the Lok Bhavan and staked the claim to form a new government. Following DKS's election, talks of what his cabinet might look like have been surfacing. Here's what we know: Amid the already existing buzz, further reports suggested that Siddaramaiah, who had to resign as the CM, had been pushing for a cabinet berth for his son, Yathindra. Yathindra threw his hat into the ring for a place in Shivakumar's cabinet on Saturday itself, HT reported earlier. The possibility of Siddaramaiah's son getting a ministerial post was reportedly part of the internal power-sharing understanding reached when the Congress formed the state government in 2023. That year and in the following years, several reports suggested that Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar had made a deal to serve as the state's CM for 2.5 years each in the five-year term. Additionally, Yathindra dismissed reports that Siddaramaiah sought a cabinet berth for him during discussions with the party high command in Delhi in the days leading up to his resignation from the CM's chair. The member of the state legislative council further stated that senior leaders were in favour of his induction into the incoming cabinet. According to Yathindra, senior Congress leaders, including the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, said that he should be "given a post in the cabinet and should be allowed to grow". "I am definitely an aspirant for a cabinet post," he added. However, a leader familiar with the talks had earlier said, "Siddaramaiah wants Yathindra in a politically significant department. The social welfare portfolio is among the options under discussion." Discussions among party leaders have considered the possibility of two deputy chief ministers, with MB Patil -- a Lingayat -- and Dalit leader Priyank Kharge -- Mallikarjun Kharge's son -- emerging as leading contenders. Satish Jarkiholi is also under consideration for a deputy CM post, HT reported earlier. He is also being considered for the post of president of the state Pradesh Congress Committee....
